At least one side partition shall provide a toe clearance of 9 inches (229 mm) minimum above the finish floor and 6 inches (152 mm) deep minimum beyond the compartment-side face of the partition, exclusive of partition support members. Partition components at toe clearances shall be smooth without sharp edges or abrasive surfaces. Compartments for children’s use shall provide a toe clearance of 12 inches (305 mm) minimum above the finish floor.  [S.H.:  Previous editions of CBC did not require toe clearance at accessible toilet compartments, since the minimum size allowed for these compartments would qualify them for the exemption at 1991 ADAAG 4.17.4.]
